Lu Chen's face was so gloomy that it could almost freeze. He squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Lu Yao."
Cheng Mingyue exclaimed: "Lu Yao! You said that the report letter was written by Lu Yao?!"
Lu Chen pinched his brows, his eyes instantly filled with a thick chill: "It is indeed her handwriting."
Cheng Mingyue was a little bit unbelievable. She slowly sat down on the kang and looked up at Lu Chen:
"If it's really her, when did she write the report? Could it be that she has an accomplice?!"
Lu Chen concealed the coldness in his eyes and said hesitantly:
"Based on the time Officer Li and his team received the report, it must have happened recently."
"Recently? No way, she was arrested a month ago!" Cheng Mingyue couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried.
The two discussed it together for a long time, but couldn't figure it out, so they had to give up in the end.
"What do you want to eat for lunch today? I'll make something delicious to calm us down."
Cheng Mingyue jumped off the kang and said to Lu Chen with a smile.
Cheng Mingyue developed a habit in the orphanage. If she couldn't figure out something, she would just stop thinking about it for the time being and just live in the present.
Lu Chen, however, was the exact opposite of her. He had to consider everything carefully before doing anything, and he advocated preparing for a rainy day.
In his mind, if he miscalculated something, he would likely have to bear immeasurable consequences.
Like his legs.
Since his leg injury, he has been thinking more and thinking ten steps ahead.
At this moment, he saw Cheng Mingyue asking him with a smile what he wanted to eat. He was stunned for a moment, and then the light in his eyes was brighter than the stars.
Lu Chen chuckled and said, "I want to eat fish. I want to eat chopped pepper fish head and boiled fish."
"Okay, I'll satisfy you today. Let's kill two birds with one stone."
Cheng Mingyue said this and ran happily into the kitchen, and Lu Chen of course followed her swiftly.
The two of them now have such a tacit understanding when cooking, one is in charge of the cooking while the other helps out by lighting the fire, and the kitchen is such a joyful place.
Cheng Mingyue first instructed Lu Chen to clean the fish, while she quickly washed the rice and then prepared the side dishes that would be used later.
After a while, Lu Chen came in carrying the cleaned fish.
Cheng Mingyue washed it carefully twice before chopping off the fish head, adding salt, MSG, vinegar, and a small spoonful of white wine to start marinating.
While the fish was marinating, Cheng Mingyue started to fillet the fish. This boiled fish was Lu Chen's favorite. She had made it countless times. Her technique of slicing fish was so skillful that all the ingredients were ready in a short while.
Cheng Mingyue first put the rice in the pot, and then put the fish head that had been coated with chili, green onion, ginger and garlic into the steamer. When the rice was cooked, the fish head was also cooked.
Clean the pot, pour in oil, and when the oil is hot, pour it over the steamed fish head. A fragrant chopped pepper fish head is ready.
Then the boiled fish was cooked smoothly, and the two of them sat at the table happily and started eating.
Cheng Mingyue still ate very little, and most of it went into Lu Chen's stomach.
Lu Chen ate quite elegantly, but he was not slow at all in picking up the dishes. He ate with great relish and even gave Cheng Mingyue a thumbs up.
Lu Chen only liked the food cooked by Cheng Mingyue. He had no interest in other dishes. He had only started eating a few times before when he went to the village chief's house for a gathering.
In the end, Cheng Mingyue went home and made him another portion, and he was satisfied with the meal.
Lu Chen used to think he was quite restrained, but when it came to Cheng Mingyue, that line of defense was broken again and again, whether it was about eating or - kissing.
Lu Chen felt like he was possessed by a poison, so addicted that he couldn't pull himself out.
However, the two also have differences.
Lu Chen felt that it was just right for Cheng Mingyue to be a little chubby now, but Cheng Mingyue insisted on pursuing the skinny beauty, which made Lu Chen so angry that his teeth were itching.
Especially when they were kissing, Lu Chen felt so itchy that he really wanted to bully Cheng Mingyue severely, but when he met Cheng Mingyue's big misty eyes, his heart immediately softened.
He kept muttering that Cheng Mingyue was the little devil sent by God to torture him.
After the two of them finished their meal, Lu Chen quickly ran to the kitchen to clean up the dishes, while Cheng Mingyue went into the house to lie down and rest.
Before she could rest for a moment, she heard the gate of the yard banging.
When Lu Chen heard the sound, he quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks, ran into the house, pretended to have a leg injury, and lay down on the kang.
Cheng Mingyue saw that he was lying there in a normal position with no flaws, so she went out and opened the gate.
The three people who came were Wang Guihua, Zhang Hongying and Zhang Lan.
When these three people saw Cheng Mingyue, they were so excited that they wanted to hug her and cry.
Today, the three of them were sent to plant corn at the east end of the village. They only found out what happened at noon when they finished work. So, they didn't even have time to cook and rushed over.
Cheng Mingyue felt a pang of sadness when she saw the three people running breathlessly and sweating profusely.
She let the three of them into the yard, poured them some water, and then spoke:
"Mom, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, don't worry, the matter of this afternoon has been resolved.
Officer Li and Director Liu have already investigated and found out that the letter of complaint was sent to frame us."
Wang Guihua was so angry that she stamped her feet and cursed, "I don't know which bastard is this, eating people's food but doing nothing for them, and all she knows how to do is frame others. How wicked!"
Zhang Lan was so angry that her eyebrows were twisted together: "That's right, my sister-in-law didn't provoke anyone. I don't know whose ancestral grave is smoking that she did such a inhuman thing."
Even Zhang Hongying, who is usually very calm, looked like she was ready to fight to the death.
Cheng Mingyue's heart felt even warmer and more bitter.
Fortunately, this matter was investigated clearly today, otherwise my family would have been so angry that they would have fallen ill.
Cheng Mingyue patted Wang Guihua's back gently to help her calm down, and said softly:
"Mom, please stop being angry. If you get angry and something bad happens to you, how will I live?"
Seeing that Wang Guihua's expression had eased a bit, Cheng Mingyue continued:
"Officer Li and Director Liu have already agreed to help investigate the report. We just need to wait for news at home."
Wang Guihua and the others were still somewhat unwilling to accept this, but apart from scolding the person who wrote the letter of accusation, they really had no other way to find out the scumbag.
Lu Chen heard the noise in the yard and knew that Wang Guihua and the others were coming. He jumped out of the house and called out enthusiastically, "Mom, Sister-in-law, and Second Sister-in-law."
Then he asked, "Mom, have you eaten yet?"
